HOW TO IMPROVE OUR CITY.

There are all sorts of men 10 the
world; selfish, semi selfish, meauly sci
fish and generous A selfish aud meau-
u selfish man does nothing for a COM
,nuui,y that he doe. not get pay for or
that he docs not expect to get pay for
He u without generous impulse. A
semi-selfsh man does many things for
town in an Indifferent way, because it is
easier to do them than not. 1t is easier
to give half dollar, which good natur-
ed man can easily spare, than to refuse a
person Who asks assistance.
A generous man Is always helping
somebody; not always with money, moro
oftes, perhaps, with good deeds; many
times with Nh encouraging smile and
often with sympathetic word.
We saw a specimen of generous and
a selfish man 10 our city day or two
ago. They both professed to be teach
ers Of morals and christianity. Both
had been employed in one OF our liter
ary institutions that was not well able to
pay its way. One had worked hard,
got little pay, the other had filed his
engagement and received all his pay.
The one who had not received all his
pay was hard at work improving the
grounds aud buildings around him. The
othvr younger and stronger man had
nothing to do, did nothing. Exercise
would have been benefit to him. II,
said he was an experienced hand ut the
work needed to be done, but he could see
nothing 10 sight and therefore sat idle
lie knew that others were giving time
without any pay, raising money to pay
him Tor labor done, but be- was too
msanly selfish to donate stroke Of
work to benefit the world or the town
which supported him. These two men
represent . class.
Every man has now and then time to
give IN hour or day to benefit the city
when there is 10 ono to pay him. The
generous man does. The selfish
man refuses to do 40. IF our town eve,
grows its growth will be greatly sided BY
the geuerou, men in it. Why not oil
take . hand now and then as leisur.
affords opportunity, in drivinga nail or
smoothing a walk, or improving a public
building. Lets build up.

DEAR TELLER: Having passed an
other pleas mt week in the IN 'untains,
cannot sleep until We inf1rm the world
Of the comfort and pleasure there is to be
found camping on Craigs mountain
among the pine, FIR and cedar where one
can view the Cottonwood mountains and
Sven Devil mountains across the Sal
mon river to the southwest; the hills
and valleys are dotted with cattle, sheep
and horses in all directions as far as the
eye can reach. There are thousands of
acres of valuable agricultural laud un-
cultivated at the present time and must
remain co until the Me- Perez Indian
reservation is thrown open 10 the lubIic,
then this will be the paradis, OF North
ern Idaho. The farmer Can 6nd prair
land, wood and water 10 abundan' e,
where all kinds Of vegetation grows
without irrigation. The lumberman can
find timber chances to suit the most faE-
tidious; the sportsman can find all sorts
Of game with the tourist, wonders will
never cease, and the artist will have no
reason to visit foreign lands But, alas,
when will the reservation b. open2
Mr.. and Mrs. Palmer visited our camp
Monday on their way to Mt. Idaho and
remained some six hours visiting the
sights and angling for the speck led trout
On Tuesday our number was increased

above named gents took rooms in section
four of the west coruer Of our grounds,

keeping house in true bachelor style.
The boys only met with one small loss,
while enroute to Mason creek, one Of the
crowd fell sleep, aud while the horses
were climbing the long hill leading from
Whites hotel, fell out OF the carriage
and was not missed for several miles.
Dr. Boston. the handy tooth jerker from
Lewiston, called aud remained twenty
four hours in camp OF his trip to War.

The hayseeds had tho floor yesterday.
The third house is still on hand, by a
large majority.
Laborer Jackson was one of the third
house in fine style yesterday.
Somebody is holding the purse but
nobody but the sbrewd lobbyist can make
lind.
Senator Burgess is going to give pos
sum supper to select party of friends
this week.
jay Gould was pretty good inspira.
ton, but he knew better than to 60 ana
see our legislature in session.
It is whispered that both Bell and Ter.
rell, of the senate, are looking to the lieu,
tenant governorship two years hence.
Senator Simpkins is one of the most
good natured members of the senate, and
combined with that, he has got brains to
back him.
Senator Bell is not a silent member, and
he is nearly always on the right side of
the question. The senate generally listens
with respect to what he has to say.
1t is said that not less than fourteen
congressional bees are buzzing around the
two houses, waiting for the next state ap-
portionment in '92-a long way off, but
better late than never.
1t has leaked out that action on the
nomination of DR.. Rutherford has been
postponed until Wednesday. 1t was an all
absorbing topic In the halls of the tenn
porary capitol yesterday afternoon.
The senate had lengthy executive ses-
sion yesterday, and from the ap-
pearance of some of the members of
that body after it was over, they were not
all sleeping while the secret session was
holding.
Next Tuesday is to the senatorial can
didates what the Alps were to the Car
thageuians and other races of that time.
Beyond next Tuesday lies the United
States senate. The question is now, who

gentleman just from New Orleans

night, that the members of the Louisiana
State Board of Health deplore any change
in the state health office of Texas, and
that they consider the removal of DR..
Swearingen calamity to New Orleans, as
well as TO Texas.
"What do you think of executive ses-
sionsW asked STATESMAN reporter of a

tirely wrong, and contrary to the institu-
tions of republican form of gov
eminent. II the people elect body of
law makers, they are entitled to know
